NOTE 


The  purpose  of  the  present  exhibition  is  to  show  fine  im- 
pressions of  as  many  as  possible  of  the  important  examples 
of  the  etched  work  of  Rembrandt,  and  to  illustrate  adequately 
both  his  range  and  power  in  etching.  It  is  not  for  lack  of 
material  that  the  display  is  limited  in  numbers.  While  a  com- 
plete exhibition  of  original  impressions  is  impossible,  yet  from 
the  private  collections  generously  placed  at  the  service  of  the 
Club,  a  more  extended  exhibition  could  have  been  made. 
The  result,  however,  would  not  have  been  more  representa- 
tive of  the  artist's  work. 

As  is  generally  known,  wide  differences  of  opinion  exist 
among  recognized  authorities  concerning  the  genuineness  of 
certain  prints  attributed  to  Rembrandt.  The  discussion  which 
has  followed  the  agitation  of  the  subject  by  Sir  Francis  Sey- 
mour Haden,  has  led  to  the  definite  exclusion  of  a  large  num- 
ber of  etchings  included  in  the  earlier  catalogues.  Regard- 
ing others,  the  work  of  investigation  and  criticism  still  con- 
tinues. Bartsch,  in  1797,  placed  the  total  number  of  etchings 
and  dry  points  by  Rembrandt  at  375.    Middleton  (now  Mid-

NOTE 


dleton-Wake),  in  1878,  questioned  the  genuineness  of  all  but 
329.  Michel,  in  1893,  with  hesitation  in  some  cases,  settled 
upon  270.  Von  Seidlitz,  in  1895,  reached  the  conclusion  that 
only  260  could  with  certainty  be  credited  to  Rembrandt. 
Further  comment  on  this  subject  is  not  made  here,  since  it 
is  not  deemed  to  be  the  mission  of  the  Grolier  Club  to  under- 
take work  which  may  be  regarded  as  more  properly  within 
the  province  of  a  public  institution  possessed  of  a  permanent 
collection  of  prints. 

In  the  various  catalogues  of  Rembrandt's  etchings,  conflict- 
ing views  have  resulted  in  differences  of  classification  and 
numbering.  In  the  present  catalogue,  Dutuit  has  been  fol- 
lowed in  determining  states  as  well  as  in  the  classification  ac- 
cording to  subjects.  Twelve  divisions  are  made  as  follows : 
(1)  Portraits  of  Rembrandt;  (2)  Subjects  from  the  Old  Tes- 
tament; (3)  Subjects  from  the  New  Testament;  (4)  Pious 
Subjects;  (5)  Allegorical,  Historical  and  Fancy  Subjects; 
(6)  Beggars ;  (7)  Free  Subjects  and  Academic  Figures ;  (8) 
Landscapes;  (9)  Portraits  of  Men;  (10)  Fancy  Heads  of 
Men;  (11)  Portraits  of  Women;  (12)  Studies  of  Heads  and 
Sketches.  This  is  an  earlier  classification  than  that  adopted 
by  Middleton-Wake,  who  placed  all  the  prints  under  four 
heads,  namely:  (1)  Studies  and  Portraits;  (2)  Biblical  and 
Religious  Subjects;  (3)  Fancy  Subjects,  and  (4)  Landscapes. 

While  the  present  exhibition  is  notable  as  a  whole,  yet 
some  of  the  impressions  are  worthy  of  special  remark.  Such 
are  those  of  "  Christ  Healing  the  Sick"  (the  hundred-guilder

print),  " Christ  Preaching,"  "  Christ  Before  Pilate"  (D.  83), 
one  of  six  impressions  known  to  exist;  the  portraits  of 
Clement  de  Jonghe,  Van  Tolling,  Old  Haaring,  Young 
Haaring,  Burgomaster  Six,  Jan  Sylvius ;  and  the  land- 
scapes known  as  "  The  Three  Trees,"  "The  Three  Cottages," 
"  Landscape  with  a  Cottage  and  Dutch  Hay  Barn,"  and 
"  Landscape  with  a  Flock  of  Sheep."  It  may  be  thought  in- 
vidious to  mention  any  impressions  as  excelling  where  so 
many  others  are  also  fine,  but  those  mentioned  are  among 
the  more  important  in  subject  as  well  as  quality. 

Important  and  extensive  private  collections  of  Rembrandt's 
etchings,  some  of  them  vying  with  great  public  collections, 
exist  in  Europe  and  in  this  country,  notably  those  of  M.  Ed- 
mond  de  Rothschild,  of  Paris,  Mr.  George  W.  Vanderbilt, 
of  Biltmore,  North  Carolina,  and  Mr.  Theodore  Irwin,  of 
Oswego,  New  York. 

Rembrandt's  etched  work  substantially  complete  is  access- 
ible only  in  great  public  collections: — In  the  British  Museum 
at  London,  the  Royal  Museum  at  Amsterdam,  the  National 
Library  at  Paris,  the  Imperial  Museum  at  Berlin,  The  Alber- 
tina  and  Imperial  Museum  at  Vienna,  the  Royal  Museum 
at  Dresden,  and  perhaps  other  museums  in  Europe,  and 
the  Museum  of  Fine  Arts  at  Boston.  Unfortunately,  the 
City  of  New  York  has  no  important  public  collection  of 
prints;  the  comparatively  few  prints  in  the  possession  of  the 
Metropolitan  Museum  of  Art  having  never  reached  the  dig- 
nity of  a  collection.  It  is  hoped,  however,  that  through

provision  for  a  print  department  in  the  New  Public  Li- 
brary, this  city  may,  in  the  course  of  time,  possess  such  a 
public  collection  as  will  be  worthy  of  the  metropolis  of  this 
country. 

Doubts  exist  regarding  the  dates  of  Rembrandt's  birth  and 
death. 

Orlers  and  Van  Leeuwen  say  that  he  was  born  in  1606, 
and  Sir  F.  Seymour  Haden  (with  whom  Messrs.  Michel  and 
Colvin  agree)  gives  reasons  for  being  of  the  same  opinion. 
Others  say  that  1608  was  the  year.  Mr.  Middleton-Wake, 
however,  is  quite  positive  that  Vosmaer's  date  of  1 607  is  correct^ 

Nearly  all  writers  and  commentators  are  agreed  that  Rem- 
brandt was  born  at  Ley  den,  and  that  the  day  of  his  birth  was  the 
15th  of  July,  and  that  he  died  in  October,  1669,  at  Amster- 
dam, where  he  was  buried  in  the  Wester  Kerk  on  October  8th. 

It  may  be  noted  that  the  earliest  date  found  upon  any  of 
his  etchings  is  1628,  while  he  was  still  at  Leyden,  and  that 
the  latest  is  1661. 

The  student  is  referred  to  the  following  authorities  which 
may  be  consulted  with  special  reference  to  the  life  of  Rem- 
brandt as  well  as  his  etched  work :
